Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife
Chapter 1614

Chapter 1614

Once every two days?

It was the worst form of torture!

She would not starve to death because of the food, but she would never be full either. Disheartened, she curved her lips into a bitter smile and thanked the bodyguard.

The bodyguard simply offered a piece of advice out of kindness. John would never order his bodyguard to tell her that the meal would only be delivered once every two days and that it would be wise for her to eat some and keep some for the next day to lessen the starvation.

The bodyguard nodded and went out.

Sherry opened the box. There was rice, some meat, and vegetables.

Due to starvation, her appetite was no longer as big as it used to be. She simply had a few bites and no longer felt hungry.

After she put the leftovers in the refrigerator, she returned to the couch.

She felt a lot better now that she was not starving and the sudden comfort led her to sleep.

A few peaceful days went by, and John never showed up since then.

Ever since the bodyguard started to deliver meals to her, Sherry strategically divided the portions to make sure she had something to eat every meal, thus solving her hunger problem.

She stayed in the living room most of the time, and when she felt bored, she would try to talk to the bodyguards and befriend them. Unfortunately, the bodyguards never really talked to her.

Sherry continued the same mundane life for a few more days, and despite her effort, she failed to lower the bodyguards’ attention.

The walls around the house were taller than others, so climbing out was not an option; there were no trees around for her to climb as well. The only exit and entrance was the main gate.

The sky was covered in dark clouds, and it started to drizzle.

Sherry squatted by the door and watched the bodyguards under their umbrellas with a bored expression. If this continued, she would be imprisoned for the rest of her life.

Meanwhile, back at John's own house, he was having an online meeting in the study.

Screech.

The door suddenly opened and caught his attention.

Caprice, in her pajamas and messy hair, came in while rubbing her eyes.

He narrowed his eyes. He said to the meeting attendees, “Please excuse me for a while.”

He got up and walked over to Caprice.

Caprice pouted and looked at him with a grievance.

John carried her into his arms and asked softly, “Caprice, did you have a nightmare?”

When Caprice shook her head, he was baffled by the girl's reaction.

The girl said, “Caprice is scared.”

“Daddy is here. What are you afraid of?”

“When I woke up, I was alone.”

The sky was dark and it was raining outside. She opened her eyes and saw no one in the room, thus she got scared. Tears rolled down her eyes.

John hugged her tightly. “Daddy's got a meeting. I'm sorry I can't be with you. I won't leave you alone again.”

Caprice hummed a reply. She looked calmer than before now that she was in her father's embrace, but her hands clung to his shirt tightly, afraid that he would put her down.

He smiled and carried her to the couch. He sat her down on his lap and tidied her hair.

She looked at him with teary eyes. She grumbled, “Daddy, I miss Mommy. When is she coming back?”

John's hands froze and his expression went blank.

A few seconds later, he curled his lips and said with a smile, “Mommy's gone to a far, faraway place. I don't know when she is coming back either.”

A far, faraway place?

Caprice furrowed her brows. “Then, is she going to come back?”

John went silent for a moment. “Whether she comes back or not, Daddy will always be with you.”
